2. Fixes a phenomenon where the IS function will not work when custom function C.Fn III-2 is set to [5: IS start] and the lens attached does not have an AF stop button. This is because custom function C.Fn III-2 allows users to assign IS start to the AF stop button on the lens

The only CF card I'm aware of that claims to be UDMA 7 is the SanDisk 128GB Pro card, which is 100MB/s and 'backward compatible with UDMA 6' (read: pins are ATA, not SATA), so I would naively think it's UDMA 5.

Items #2 and #3 were provided in recent 7D firmware update 1.2.5. Item #1 will now likely also show up in next 7D update to provide UDMA-7 compatibility. The faster CF card, once it becomes available in smaller sizes (and more affordable cost), will likely improve read/write speed when using 7D in burst mode.

I use the UDMA-6 compatible SanDisk Extreme Pro CF card rated at 90 MB/s. Works great in burst mode. The 16 GB size isn't cheap, but at least it's available. Hopefully the UDMA-7 version will soon be available in smaller size.

The new SanDisk UDMA-7 card is currently only available in 128 GB size and 100 MB/s lists for $1500. Very prohibitive cost. This card appears to be motivated by video considerations rather than shooting stills in burst mode.

Why bother adding some feature that maybe... three? four? people in the entire freaking Canon world use, and STILL no manual audio levels?! If their lenses and codecs weren't utter crap, I'd seriously be considering a Sony at this point.

I wasn't aware that they added it officially to the 5DmkII. I have a few people I work with who use a 5D, and they are either using Magic Lantern, or, more commonly, one of those little Zoom recorders that makes the whole process a huge pain in the ass. If Canon has added this to the 5DmkII, then why is the 7D, which is the first DSLR they produced with video production in mind (the 5D's feature was more of a gimmick, even if it's awesome) not getting it?
